[QUOTE="Tewligan, post: 287014, member: 2191"] Being a dual citizen of both camps, I can tell you that a lot of improv performers are already gamers. Five out of the six members of my troupe are gamers. We went to an improv festival this year, and there was a sizable group of people who had just met enthusiastically discussing D&D as they drank at the after-show party. Of course, a lot of performers AREN'T gamers, and probably aren't going to fall for this exercise trickery. If they aren't already into fantasy and/or games, they aren't going to want to break out the dice at workshops instead of just doing an open scene. I suggest NOT joining a troupe with the intent of winning over gamers - if you're trying to join a troupe, do it because you want to perform, not to find new people to game with. Nothing's more aggravating than being in a performing group with someone who's there just for social time. (Sorry, the improv guy in me just had to vent a little bit. Carry on, carry on.) [/QUOTE]
